The Language of Emotions

A 6 week course to transform your relationship with yourself

This course is designed for those who want to develop a grounded and practical understanding of their internal world, that goes beyond the buzzwords and social media trends and supports you to build a more harmonious relationship with yourself.

It is for those who are genuinely ready to explore their psychological and emotional reality, and take ownership and accountability for their own process of inner transformation. It is for those who recognise that that process requires ongoing intentional commitment over a long period of time.

My aim is to support you as you start to walk that path, and equip you with the tools that will help you navigate it as smoothly as possible.

Rather than building a scientifically literate knowledge of these concepts and themes, this course will focus on your actual lived experience and how to simply be with that in a way that is most conducive to peace and balance within yourself.

Over the course of these 6 weeks you will:

  • Gain a greater understanding of your inner world and how to find more peace and balance within
  • Explore the language of emotions and how to interpret each of your feeling states
  • Learn to embody your emotions, freeing yourself from endlessly looping patterns of thought
  • Look at how your relationship with your emotions is effecting your relationship with others
  • Begin to accept and integrate all aspects of yourself, rather than avoiding, denying or suppressing certain parts
  • Benefit from a spirit of community and togetherness, and receive the support of both myself and your peers as you go through your process

This course will run in small groups, capped at 5 people each. Rather than me simply teaching, each session will be a discussion; a shared exploration of the topics and themes, allowing us all to learn from each other’s perspectives and experiences.

Keeping the groups small thus allows adequate space for everyone’s voice, and also allows for a greater experience of connection with each other, which is another important aspect of this course.

Each session will also include embodiment exercises, and practices for you to personally commit to through the week in between sessions.

The more you commit to those practices individually, the more you will benefit form this course.

Each group will also have private WhatsApp group where we can stay connected and support each other as your processes unfold between sessions.

Why work with me?

Up until 7 years ago I had lived my life completely cut off from my emotional experience, endlessly lost in the mind and entirely unaware of what was happening in my body. Then the ending of a relationship finally burst the barrel and emotion started to flow in spectacular and terrifying fashion.
About a year later is started to recognise that I was probably carrying a lot of repressed emotion, which soon after began to rise to the surface and took me on an incredibly difficult and rewarding journey through the depths of the full spectrum of emotional experience that we carry within us.

I gave myself to the process fully, going through huge emotional catharsis every day for months at a time, which over the last couple years has deepened into uncovering and processing ancestral emotion residing within me, and opening up many expansive and perspective altering experiences within myself.

I took that journey alone, with very little support or guidance, driven simply by the desire I have always had to explore and to understand myself, not through externally attained knowledge, but through lived experience.
This journey organically led me 3 years ago to training in a somatic therapy called Neo Emotional release, with which I have since been supporting, guiding and facilitating people to go through those same emotional processes within themselves, and helping them to gain a better understanding of their experience.

This course aims to culminate the knowledge and wisdom I have acquired through that experience, and offer it to you to support you in also undertaking that journey within yourself.

I am not claiming to be an expert of any kind on any of these topics.
But I have walked a path which has created within me an experience of peace, joy and love which I previously couldn’t have imagined possible.
I have put this course together to offer you something that can support and guide you towards uncovering that same possibility within yourself.

When: The first group will run from Tuesday 10th November – 15th December, with online sessions taking place on Tuesdays at 19:00-21:00.

Cost: The cost of the course is £300.

What’s included: Included in that is 6 weekly 2 hour sessions, as well as access to myself via WhatsApp throughout for any ongoing support and guidance needed as you go through your process.

Each group will also have private WhatsApp group.

My intention is to create a container for these 6 weeks that allows you to feel held and supported as you commit to your own individual process.
